<br />RESOLUTION NO.
<br />WHEREAS, it has been called to the attention of the
<br />City Council of the City of Newport Beach that a certain Bill
<br />known as Assembly Bill No. All is now pending before the
<br />California Legislature, in which bill it is provided among
<br />other things that elementary school districts lying within high-
<br />school districts, shall be consolidated; and
<br />WHEREAS, if said Bill becomes a law, the elementary
<br />school district of Newport Beach, now lying entirely within.the
<br />corporate limits of the City of Newport Beach, will be consoli-
<br />dated with the Costa Mesa Elementary School District; and
<br />WHEREAS, if such consolidation were made, it would
<br />create an unequal tax burden and would cause the City of Newport
<br />Beach to pay more than its just proportion of the taxes for the
<br />maintenance of schools within said proposed consolidated distric
<br />as there are more children of elementary school age in the
<br />elementary school district of Costa Mesa than there are in the
<br />elementary school district of Newport Beach, and further the
<br />assessed valuation of Newport Beach is approximately °� times
<br />greater than the Costa Mesa Elementary School District, which
<br />would mean that the City of Newport Beach would pay approximately
<br />times more taxes and would receive less benefit
<br />therefrom than the Costa Mesa elementary school district; and
<br />WHEREAS, tax delinquencies are more than twice
<br />as great in the Costa Mesa Elementary School District than
<br />they are in the Newport Beach Elementary School District,
<br />which means that the school tax rate would have to be
<br />increased in order to take care of these delinquencies, which
<br />burden would fall upon the•tax payers of the City of Newport
<br />Beach.
